Oh this is awesome. I can see so many cool applications for this in wearable electronics and custom form factor batteries. I hope their research into improving the voltage pays off.

They already offer a subscription service. And on top of that they have not-so-microtransactions in their shop.

It's not like dedicated people aren't going to be able to just patch out the calls to this API from the apps themselves...

This feels like yet another attempt at DRM that is doing more harm than help.

This is the best article I've seen yet on the topic. It does mention the "how" in brief, but this analogy really explains the "why" Gonna bookmark this in case I ever need to try to save another friend or family member from drinking the Flavor-Aid

If anyone hasn't played this game yet: don't read the article!

I highly recommend you experience this for yourself while knowing as little as possible about it. Top tier game.

I imagine this is one of those studies where laymen like me will be tempted to say "well, that was obvious, why'd they study that?" before thinking twice.

It says that the findings aren't novel, which I think means this is a confirmation of a phenomenon that was found before. It's good that this kind of thing is quantifiable and reproducible. Hopefully it helps contribute to more funding for public health and better conditions for nurses and other healthcare workers.
